The Ref Stop

World Cup referee standards

The Ref Stop
And this may sound small, but the Ronaldo suspended red card to allow him to play in first 3 matches stank. Whether it’s because of his friendship or because they just wanted him there for commercial reasons…..that’s corruption. The rules were not applied.
Now we have it with a USA player. Suspended sentence because the president made a call?
I'm just wondering whether or not Quansah and England will be afforded the same courtesy as was applied to Ronaldo, Almiron and Balogun? 🤔
Shan't hold my breath though ... 🙄

I was thinking the same. It makes the consequences of a red card meaningless.
This all started because of Ronaldo getting a suspended red card sentence. As I said. Corruption. Be it because of finance or friendship it’s still corruption.
 
Watch this trickle down to grassroot where red cards become a joke of a tool for referees because the recipients of the card knows the right people.
Not that that kind of thing was not happening behind closed doors previously but now it can become an official and open process. Every competition rule is going to have an article 27 now.
 
C’mon Sir Keir, give Infantino a call with one of your rousing speeches. “Err hi err well Mr Gianni sir, oh, wrong number? Well if you don’t suspend him or not suspend his suspension then there’s the door or I’ll quit! If that’s okay with you errr bye”

Bloody ruddy brave England lions.
